The temp of the engine doesn't seem to affect it one way or the other. I could have been driving for a solid hour + and the cruise still won't engage in sub 40 temps. Or at least it won't engage consistently and without tinkering. It all seems to be about the ambient air temperature. Warm...

Has anobody else experienced problems with their cruise control during cold weather? My cruise works absolutely fine during the spring, summer and fall... but when the temps drop to the mid-40s and below, my cruise doesn't want to engage. The cruise light on the dash will light up, but it just...

I'm using Syvlania Silverstars. I recognize that the base model bulbs have a significantly higher lifespan, but I figure it's worth it for the better illumination. Still, I've had the car for just over 3 years and I think I've now changed my low-beam bulbs at least 5 times now. (I will claim...

Is it just me or does everyone's P5 go through headlights like they're going out of style?

I purchased my completely stock P5 used two years ago and have always noticed that the driver's seat feels as though it leans back to the right... like it's twisted. I can notice it when I'm just driving straight, but I can really notice it when I'm taking a hard left corner... the bolster just...

Crap!!! You're telling me that I didn't have to replace my K.C. And The Sunshine Band 8-tracks with CDs?????

My cruise control just stopped working for about a week and a half. It did the same thing last year when the temperature dropped. It would work for the most part, but sometimes it just seemed sluggish to actually engage. Now I did install a new stereo about 2 weeks ago and it wasn't working...

Thanks!!!

Took me a little bit of manual reading just to figure out how to set the clock, but it's done and I'm starting to understand the iPod controls. Is it me, or can you not use the iPod's Shuffle using the headunit controls?

I'll try to get some up in the next day or so. It's the same head unit that Liquid Ag put in his and he already has some pics posted earlier in this thread. It's a good looking double DIN unit with a red color scheme that matches the rest of the lighting in the car.

After taking two evenings to get the old head unit out, it literally took me only 30 minutes to get the new one completely installed and working. Now I just have to read the instruction manual to figure out how to operate the thing!

The face itself is fine, but I bent some stuff underneath the face. I'm sure all the internals are fine, but it's not going to be usable any longer without a couple replacement parts for the exterior. And yeah, I remembered to remove the CDs before I removed it. LOL

I tinkered with it this afternoon and was able to get the stock head unit out. I wish I had known how to remove the dash earlier... then I could've taken out the stock unit and kept it to sell/trade/give to another P5 owner.

I called them last night when I was trying to figure out if the stereo was bolted in in the back or something. The Technical Support guy was looking at the same instructions I was looking at. There's nothing more that they can do. The clips on the left/driver side are simply not visible for...

So the professionals at Circuit City can't get the damn thing out, either. He said that they have problems with a lot of Ford and Mazda stereos because they don't have them properly aligned when they intall them in the factory. So I unless I take apart the dash, I'm just going to have to start...

I called the local Circuit City and they charge $35 for just a head unit removal. I may take them up on it for the sake of simplicity. But then again, I've already destroyed my stock head unit...

Where are you accessing it from behind to push? I couldn't figure out how to do that, either. The problem for me was that I could get the DIN tools to release the catches on the right/passenger side... and that side wanted to come right out. But for the life of me I couldn't get the...

How in the hell do I get the stock unit out? It just does NOT want to budge. Crutchfield sent 4 DIN tools, but on the ones on the right/passenger side seemed to do anything. I couldn't get the left side to budge.

Personally, I prefer the look of the P5 to the 3. Don't get me wrong, I think the 3 is a very good looking car, but I prefer the back-side windows on the P5 over the upswept looking ones on the 3. Not a huge fan of the 3 grill, either. Ever since the P5 came out I told myself that I would...
